IEEE INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS Special Issue on Argumentation Technology
Submission deadline: 2 Mar. 2007

A PDF version of this the call is available here:

The theory of argumentation is a rich, interdisciplinary area of research lying across philosophy, communication studies, linguistics, and psychology. Over the last few years, formal models of argumentation have been gaining increasing importance in artificial intelligence, and have found a wide range of applications ranging from specifying semantics for logic programs, to natural language text generation, to supporting legal reasoning, to facilitating multiagent dialogue and negotiation.

Topics including, but not limited to,

• Applications of argumentation in complex-systems engineering and design
• Argument-based decision support systems
• Argument extraction from real data
• Argumentation in computer-supported collaborative work
• Argumentation in natural language processing
• E-democracy and e-government applications
• Educational applications of argumentation
• Intelligent tools for argument construction and analysis
• Legal applications
• Medical applications
• Practical argument-based multiagent systems
• Semantic Web applications
